How to properly cook pancakes
The recipe for making thin pancakes is very simple, but, as in any business, it requires skill and a few little secrets, and we will talk about them. So, before you start making pancakes, remember a few simple tips:
* Be sure to sift the flour. If you are making pancakes with regular wheat flour, I recommend sifting it, this way you will achieve a smoother and more even texture of the pancakes. If you use whole grain flour or coarsely ground flour, then you do not need to sift it;
* mix the liquid dough. It should quickly and evenly spread over the surface of the pan;
* use a minimum of fat. Pancake dough also contains vegetable oil, so when frying in a pan, use very little oil. It is best not to pour oil, but to grease the pan with a cooking brush dipped in oil or a small clean napkin;
* use pans with a non-stick coating. Experienced housewives can handle any pan, but if you are making pancakes for the first time, it is better not to take risks;
* let the dough rest a little. Do not rush to start baking pancakes immediately after preparing the dough. Give it a little rest, let it stand in the bowl for 10 minutes. After that, mix again and you can bake;
* use different types of flour - ordinary wheat, whole grain, buckwheat. So you will get new tastes and new impressions from food.
